Why keep your computer clean?
Prolonged dust buildup will:
Add stress to moving parts
Restrict airflow
Hinder cooling abilities
Reduce overall lifespan of the PC
Notes for oral delivery: Caked on dust reduces the cooling capabilities of PC hardware which can lead to overheating. Over time, overheating can damage the computer’s hardware and cause performance issues. It is important to keep computer hardware clean to prevent potential costly repairs or data loss.
